Like? Love them all Mel, I did have a look at that kit but decided to get some Christmas stamps instead. What you have done with the kit is amazing, you have such a wonderful and unique style that so suits those shaped cards. Wow is all I can think to say! Crafty hugs, Anne x

you have made some beautiful pieces, they are so carefully put together and look wonderful, really showcasing the papers in it! lovely makes Mel..your eye for detail and your style shine through! love trace x

Such beautiful and detailed DT work Mel. Fantastic use of the kits and the distress inks just make everything pop! I wouldn't normally buy anything like this, but I would now I've seen the way you have used the individual pieces.

PS Our birthday's are "close" so probably why we like each other's style!

Goodness gracious dear lady - would you look at everything you have done!! Mel these are absolutely gorgeous without a doubt - I love all your flowers. Wonderful works of art - beautifully done. can you tell I love everything you did!!!!Sandy

Gorgeous pieces, one and all... your creativity is amazing to me - the textures and techniques are so lovely - love the crackly background and the embossed one - but I think my favourite is the spotty red and blue flowery one (and I thought I didn't really like flowers!). Sorry so behind in visiting at the moment - but you were right about trying to juggle all this and work!!Alison x

I hate missing your posts but clearly I've done it again - I'm here but late!You have been amazingly busy and creative Mel! Firstly, they all look beautifully balanced and executed (such a horrible word sorry!). Secondly, the colours work so well together. . . and thirdly, I LOVE all the texture. My favourite? The last two. One, because it has the heart and I can't resist them and the last because it is very difficult to make a sympathy card and this, for me, works beautifully.Juliaxx Thanks for your kind words yesterday - it does help, really it does.
